THIS CHALLENGE IS OPEN TO ANYONE, JUST SIGN IN BY MIDNIGHT MONDAY IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE.

If you want to join in this challenge please sign in no later than midnight eastern time on Monday, May 16th. After that feel free to join us next week.

This is a 4 out of 5 challenge. Meet 4 of the following goals every day to stay in the challenge.

Goal 1 - Log all food
Goal 2 - drink at least 8 cups of water
Goal 3 - work out for 30 minutes per day
Goal 4 - stay under your calories
Goal 5 - do something for yourself (read a magazine article, a book, work on a hobby, etc....)

Each day you'll log in and tell us how many goals you've reached for the day. If you don't reach 4 goals you'll be out for the week (but don't worry you can join us again the following week). If you do not reach 4 of the 5 goals and have not earned a grace day just post that you're out and then please refrain from posting until the new challenge is posted the following week.

If you hit all 5 goals three days in a row you can earn a grace day. Grace days can be used at any time for any reason, you don't need to justify it - simply state that you're using a grace day. Grace days can be banked from week to week but you have to earn them within one week. That means you can't count Saturday, Sunday, Monday as your three days in a row because each challenge will begin on Monday.

If you drop out of the challenge with unused grace days you forfeit those grace days.

I will set up a new post each Sunday for the following week's challenge.

    Friday - I'm out.

    Today was a planned cheat day but I was hoping I'd be able to squeeze a workout in to offset it - sadly, I wasn't able to do that.

    I'm in! :) (edited to say just realised this may be last weeks challenge...oops off to see if I can find this coming weeks).

    Have been hoping to hop onto a challenge to keep me straight. :D I'm in the UK and have just entered a new stone bracket (14lbs in a stone - for anyone who works things out in kg or lbs). I want to get further down now and beyond of course.

    Yesterday logged in - under calories - I got a pep talk thing from this site as it's my first day am I 'ok' to not listen to this? I was just short of 1200 cals.

    Yesterday I rode my Horse and this morning I stayed in bed and read a book for a bit before getting up - given that 2 of my children were up by then that was courtesy of my hubby. lol
